I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

Metaphor alert...

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Shingles Vaccination Tied to Drops in Cardiovascular Events, Dementia, Death Those with post-vaccination shingles still saw a 50% lower risk of vascular dementia

"The virus can inflame blood vessels and raise the risk of clots and strokes. Think of it as a smoldering inflammation after an infection that can last for years to come." Hey, that sounds really familiar! 😷 Maybe there are other viruses that do that, too. 😉

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Always keep your cameras rolling. Federal officials are scheduled to appear in court today, where they’ll face questions over whether the government breached a prior order by deploying tear gas during immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area.

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

When Pam Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while legacy news outlets like the Washington Post wanted to seem "fair" and gave her a thumbs up.

Really utterly shocked that there are repercussions for this thing

Court extends restraining order to shield more feds from shutdown RIFs At an emergency hearing, a federal judge clarified that her restraining order prohibiting RIFs also applies to unions the government has stopped recognizing.

Good news for those (illegally) RIFed -
& another reason to join your local union

A federal court just clarified that its restraining order protects even more feds from RIFs during the shutdown --
including those in unions their agencies stopped recognizing (illegally, btw).

Great day to show what you believe in. Speak your truth. Show you are prepared to fight against authoritarian rule. If you’re marching, having a teach-in,organizing, or resting for future battles, do it with the conviction that we will not give in, that we stand on the side of justice.And stay safe.

Way to go, everyone! Huge turnouts from small towns to big cities all across the country!

No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.

That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

God really has a good point here.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Tweet from The Washington Post reads: “Breaking news: The Trump administration began laying off federal workers while the government is shuttered, fulfilling threats from President Trump to take advantage of the closure to shave off more parts of the federal workforce he dislikes.” Below is an image of Donald Trump speaking. Caption: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers…”

These layoffs are illegal and will be challenged in court. Keep resisting, Democrats.

I remind people of this frequently. This executive branch’s shakedown of institutions is about forcing compliance without going through the law. Don’t comply in advance!

We have the timidity of countless corporate and university GCs to thank for the fact DEI is treated as though it were illegal.

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."
